21ST. SPECULATION ON IF THIS MULTI MILLION DOLLAR VIOLIN WOULD EVER BE FOUND IS OVER. IT IS NOW SAFE AND IN THE HANDS OF POLICE. IT WENT MISSING LAST WEEK. 12 NEWS NICK BOHR IS LIVE AT WISCONSIN LUTHERAN COLLEGE WERE THE MUSICIAN WAS ATTACKED. CONCERTMASTER FRANK ALMOND WAS CARRYING THE VIOLIN BY HIMSELF ... AS WAS HIS CUSTOM ... LEAVING AN EVENING PERFORMANCE HERE... WHEN HE WAS TASED AND ROBBED OF THE STRADIVARIUS. THAT SET-OFF A MASSIVE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION THAT ENDED RIGHT BACK IN MILWAUKEE. 1:17 :12 :23 ELEVEN DAYS AFTER THE FAMED 1715 STRADIVARIUS VIOLIN VANISHED INTO THE NIGHT... IT'S BACK... RECOVERED BY AND NOW PROTECTED BY MILWAUKEE POLICE. THE MILWAUKEE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PLEASED AND VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE SAFE RECOVERY OF THE LIPINISKI STRADIVARIUS VIOLIN STOLEN JANUARY 27TH. THERE ARE GOOD DAYS AND THERE ARE BAD DAYS, TODAY IS A GOOD DAY. MILWAUKEE POLICE SWARMED A BAYVIEW HOME LATE LAST NIGHT... AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE LOCATION OF THE STOLEN VIOLIN FROM THE ACCUSED ROBBER... WHOM THEY IDENTIFY AS 42- YEAR-OLD SALAH JONES. OFFICERS FOUND IT IN A SUITCASE IN THE ATTIC. THE FOLKS THAT STOLE IT KNEW IT WAS HIGHLY VALUABLE. THEY KNEW THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO INJURE IT'S VALUE. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A VIOLIN CASE BUT THEY HAD A SUITCASE AND THEY TREATED IT GINGERLY. ALL A HUGE RELIEF FOR THESE INVESTIGATORS... NOT TO MENTION THE OWNER OF THE $5 MILLION DOLLAR TREASURE. Q: ANY EXPERT TAKE A LOOK AT IT YET? A: WELL, THE SYMPHONY FOLKS HAVE EYEBALLED IT THEY HAVEN'T BROUGHT IN EXPERTS TO LOOK AT IT. THE FBI ART CRIME TEAM MEMBER HANDLED IT LITERALLY WITH KID GLOVES SO IT CERTAINLY LOOKS GOOD TO US BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'LL WAIT FOR FRANK ALMOND TO HIT A FEW NOTES ON BEFORE WE KNOW FOR SURE. CRIMINAL CHARGES ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW. NEXT TO PROBABLY THE OWNER... THE PERSON MOST RELIEVED AT THE RECOVERY OF THE VIOLIN HAS TO BE THE CONCERTMASTER FRANK ALMOND... WHO WAS TASED HERE. WE'LL HAVE HIS REACTION... ON WISN 12 NEWS AT SIX.
